  plang: This variation has always given me fits. I do not play it sharply enough with White. The combination with 13 Nf5! and 14 Be2 is quite pretty.

  GrahamClayton: Cass must have got a shock after 13. ♘f5! - he expected to win a piece through the fork, but Bernstein ignores the fork and puts another piece en prise.
